RETRO REPROA couple weeks back we explored going with real deal vintage on your wedding day. If you love the silhouettes of yesteryear consider retro reproduction versus the time involved in hunting down an actual vintage dress in your size. Defined, vintage fashion is anything over 20-25 years-old. While using a pattern and recreating a vintage look isn't wearing an actual gown that has survived the ages, you will be replicating as close a look as you can get. And because women back in your grandma's day dressed up and much of what they wore was sewn, golden oldies like these are still available throug...

Beth RetroBeth Retro is a stock photographer from Essex, England. I came across her gorgeous images via the wonder that is flickr and I straight away knew I’d be sharing these as some non wedding - wedding inspiration. Whimsical and beautiful, her use of out-of-focus, twinkling lights and bright, luminous colours is right up my street. She also appears as obsessed with balloon as french fancies as I am so it’s gotta be good! For more of Beth’s work check out her flickr stream, or her Etsy store of you fancy treating yourself, I know I will be! Credit: Beth Retro...

Retro PlayboyBoudoir shoots are certainly becoming more and more the norm nowadays. They are almost part of the package now – engagement shoot, boudoir shoot, bridal shoot, wedding day, day after shoot… Warning the photographs after the jump contain nudity and may not be safe for work! However Noa of Feather Love Photography has decided that boudoir shoots, although fabulous, need to be shook up somewhat. Gone are the overly sexy, satin undies and over the top ‘gamour’ poses and in their place…well what you see here. A celebration of the female form with a real retro, 1970’s Playboy/Penthous...

Retro Sweethearts“Christina has a love for all things vintage.” photographer Krys told me when she sent over Christina & CW’s engagement session. ”She says, “if it looks old, I love it”, so we were on the same page with the idea of old buildings, rust, chipped bricks, and whatever else we could find in DeLand, FL where we had their engagement shoot. Christina and CW are definitely an amazing couple to work with. Not only were they down for anything I threw at them, they were amazing models as well (they also didn’t mind at all when I dropped an F-bomb or two). Christina wore a cute red swin...

Retro Week.Welcome to Retro Week on Rock My Wedding. It’s time to spill a few of the beans that we’ve prepared for you lovely lot, so let’s start by defining what retro actually means… Honestly, that’s what it actually says in the dictionary. We have worked with some pretty cool people this week, some of the best in the industry. We have even teamed up with massive retro photography giants lomography.com. As well as having a huge online community with over 3 million members they also make and sell analogue cameras – they are new cameras, that shoot film, based on iconic d...

retro dressesA little retro to start your Tuesday off right! I love the blue 3/4 sleeve number. What a fun alternative for a fall bridesmaid! Whoa... with the brown clutch! I love it.*A note of warning* I think one must use caution when accessorizing these retro style dresses. Any use of horn rimmed glasses with these garments is discouraged. The presence of a snood or a pillbox hat could very well make you appear as though in costume. I'd suggest a more modern approach, expecially in regard to your hair/head wear. No pin curls. That being said, I would never, ever discourage you from wearing some peep toe...

Retro ChicGet inspired by the past with this retro girly combination. Set the tone with this bridal gown by Angel Sanchez from The Bridal Salon at Stanley Korshak. We love how its modest high neck is see through and gives the best of both worlds. Have your maids follow suit with the retro look with this fresh little number from Bella Bridesmaids. Pair it with a pink patterned clutch like this one from Cahoots Handbags and finish off the look with these gold stillettos from Stanley Korshak! Think pink with your maid’s bouquets and use all different shades like these from Fleurs de France. Add a litt...

Retro RockabillyI am absolutely crazy in love with Jessica & Dave’s retro rockabilly wedding! Not wanting to stick to tradition, Jessica & proposed to Dave over a jungle themed cake! She explained: We had actually had no plans of ever getting married, but a few things changed and my views on the whole institution of marriage softened a bit. I knew that I wanted to get married, but I had no idea how I was going to bring up the subject, so it just happened sort of spur of the moment. One day we were watching Ace of Cakes, and they were making a jungle themed cake. I studied lemurs in the r...
